The position of women in the labour market is a topical issue and the main reason lies in the fact that women are at a disadvantage from the first rung of their career ladder. Even though their position in the labour market has improved for the last fifty years, they are less likely to get hired and to get promoted than men, and they are paid less for their job. Discrimination is more visible when it comes to moving into a leadership role. Qualified and capable woman is prevented from moving to higher position in the company if she competes with a man, and for moving into a leadership role woman needs to work more than man. Barriers that keep women from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy are called "a glass ceiling". These barriers are invisible and therefore woman is not even aware of their existence until she is prevented from promotion. As it stands, women are not sufficiently ambitious and capable to manage family and business roles at the same time. Despite numerous legal regulations, gender equality is still not represented in the labour market.
